Crafty Marketer was created for people who love making things—and want to turn that creativity into something more.
Whether you sell at craft fairs, run an online shop, make custom products, or are simply exploring the idea of starting a creative business, it can be difficult to know where to begin. There’s plenty of advice online, but much of it can feel overwhelming, overly complicated, or geared toward businesses that are very different from ours.
We want to change that.
Crafty Marketer is being built as a practical resource for makers and creative entrepreneurs. Our goal is to bring together useful tools, straightforward business information, ideas, and resources that can help you make better decisions and build a more profitable creative business.
As the site grows, you’ll find resources covering areas such as pricing and profit, selling online, craft fairs and markets, marketing, product ideas, business resources, and more. We’re also working toward a directory where makers can discover useful places, services, markets, and resources for their businesses.
Some resources will be free, while others will include downloadable tools, guides, courses, and other products designed to save you time and help you move forward.
We’re not here to tell you that every craft can become a six-figure business or that success happens overnight. We believe in practical ideas, realistic numbers, and finding what actually works for your kind of creative business.
Crafty Marketer is a work in progress, and we’re excited to build it one useful resource at a time.
Make something. Build something. Make it pay.
